    The dude has sold nearly 90 so if it is a scam (that works) he is making a tidy profit.

    yes..

    if its a quad channel kit they will be exactly the same spec so will run perfectly as 2 matched pairs.

    hmm amazon is £167, if he actualy has them they will be stolen, but why sell them so cheap even at £80 hed still sell out, and if it was true gskill must be selling them to retailers for £5-10 which I find hard to believe its that cheap to manufacture, whats a dual channel kit £1 ??

    Could be RAM that is failing in the RAM tests, so manufacturer rejected them. Seen it sold before, the stuff works probably enough for people not to complain but PC is unstable and has tonnes of issues e.t.c

    If anyone does receive em do a full test in BIOS if you have the option. Or download RAM testing software.

    Edit:

    Yeah is says transaction blocked as seller is unable to receive payments.. Must have hit his Paypal limit lol
